If you find a persisting itch that you can scratch than you are lucky...and thankfully there are so many itches....
The technology has come so far that nowdays building a pruduct is trivial...and commoditised....and everyone builds a product...writes a framework...and vlogs about it...brags about it on social media....they show off...
"...uh I'm so good...look at me...I made this"
...but people who know their craft can see through this facade....they know that creating something new is the smallest part of our business...
A car painter does not paint cars just for the fun of it....it paints the cars of people who need this service. This does not make him less skilled or less of a painter...
Or as a gardener does not plant seeds to every green spot it finds...does not grow plants everywhere...only where it knows that what it does is meaningfull....will create an impact.
Why can't we, software developers be like painters or gardeners.... don't build stuff for the purpose of showing off...we know you are skilled and companies hiring you will cherish you...if you deserve it.
Everyone can use a framework...can follow instructions... that's not creativity.... that's obedience... that's mediocre.
Learn the craft of building software...and stand out creating meaningfull stuff...not by creating abundance of mediocre shit.
Solve the problems don't just build products..
